RAwLHs. Wzo., August Is.-The mail
coach that arrived tonight was escorted out
fifteen miles from Meeker by a body guard.
Late adyices from that point state
the town Is being guarded night
and day By force of armed men. A con
ference was held with the Indians Tuesday
forenoon, but nothing definite was
developed. The business men and large
property holders declare there is
no Indian war. The militia
were expected to arrive at Meeker
this morning They will perhaps tr7 to
drive the Indians from the state, when war
viii begin in earnest. Everything points to
the fact that. COlOrOW having dug up the
hatchet the UJes must now and forever be
driven out. Three companies of cavalry
would be sufficient force to take all the In
dians out of the state if the fight Is forced.
The settlements on Bear and Snake river
viii no doubt be destroyed and many
people killed, as the state
militia and volunteers VIII be no match for
the Indians. The government should at
once dispatch troops to Snake and
Brier river. Everything in North
western Colorado is all excitement
People are leaving their homes and crops for
places of safety while the Indians are re-
ceiving reiuforcemeuts from the Uintah and
Uucompahgre agencies. The outlook Is any
thing but pleasant.

OMAHA, NEB., August 16.-Regarding the
telegram received from Governor Adams,
of Colorado. asking for aid in suppressing
the Ute outbreak, General Crook said yes
terday that the scene of the outbreak Is not
located in his department, although the
nearest military post, that of Fort Duschene
in Utah, is near his command. While the
general has his forces at this point, as also
at a number of others in readiness to act on
very short notice, yet he does not feel justi-
fed with the information he has IN taking
the initiative, especially as he has no knOwl-
edge as to the whereabouts of the Indians,
and his information as to the damage they
have done is indefinite and unsatisfactory
The general accordingly forwarded a copy
of the telegram by wire to General Merritt,
commander of the department of Missouri,
who has charge of the trouble in Il Q same

not what color the sun may have

QUEEN KAPIOLANI'S VISIT.
AND COLOR PREJUDICE.
A Reply to a Washington Repor-
ter'S Comment which the ''Nat-
iOnal Republican," Did Not Care
to Print.

EDITOR National Republican: In
your issue Of this morning the repor-
ter upon whom you saw fit to impose
the rather delicate task of writing up
the social attentions now being paid
the Queen of the Sandwich Islands
by Mrs. President Cleveland, the
cabinet ladies, and others high in the
social world, had to say; Queen
Kapiolani is said to be, ,byconnoisseurs
here full-blooded Negro; her skin is
clear, clean brown, and her dark
hair cr.sps closelely to her head"
MANY Of the upper circles of the
celored people here rather secuted
the idea of her being superior to them
selves"
Queen Kapiolani, of course, knows
nothing about color-prejudice. The
European foreigner at her home
knows nothing aboutit, and the Amere
lean foreigner, Of whom there are less
than fifteen hundred in the kingdom,
no doubt, finds it very convenient to
keep his prejudices in the background.
Her Majesty will not, therefore, ao-
preciste the evident sneer and base
insinuation in the extracts quoted
above which SO truthfully reflect the
sentiment of people who have not
vet learned to see merit even through
an olive complexion, or who, seeing,
will not perceive. And yet I could
not help thinking what kind of an O.
pinion she will form. ..of the compare
tive greatnes. of the American people
when the true animus Of the above
will have been explained to her and
when she will have visited London,
Paris, Berlin, and other European
capitals where Ga mans a man Ca d

iop.
But ID not write 10 defend Qlern
KapioIani. You import her sugar
and coffee and you are bound by
international considerations, howev-
er distastefnl 1t may be to some per-
sonally, to show her official and So
cipl courtesies. I might say, howev-
er. that rejoice to know that Bos-
ton, the city Of culture and conse-
auently of liberality. to which she
goes from here, will make no dis
paraglng remarks relative to her col
or and will honor her nnreservedly
as she should be honore1.
But write particularly to confute
the latter statement quoted, namel ly
"Many Of The upper circles of the
colored people here rather secuted
the idea Of her lthe Queen )being
superior to themselves" am inclined
to think this idea either origiL Lated in
the fruitful mind Of your reporter or
was furnished by such representatives
of the upper circles" as he found

and chambers Of the great houses
Queen Kapiolani has been entertaine
ed, for it is fiom this class of persons
that the newspapers and critics get
so many of their ideas concerning the
upper circles of colored people, In
fact. this cas-; constitutes the upper
circles" in the minds Of many, and
the progress IF the colored people is
measured by what they learn from
them. AS colored man, without
making any pretensions to lofty social
connections, | desire to state en-
phatlcally that | entertain no such
feeling, and believe l voice the
niiment of the intelligent classes

only positively distasteful but utterly
untrue. Of course. we do not admit
that Queen Kapiolani or anybody
else is naturally superior to US, but
we believe that the "clear, clean

great as she would be if the had not
trace of pigment in her cuticle.
would that I could tell her how much
| honor her because of her dark COM
plexion, because Of the conspicuous
part she is pl ,ying in convincing
Americans that great qualities Of
head and he irt d, not always and
necessarily accompany a pale face.
By and by, when the leaves begin to
fall and Kapiolani will have returned
to her island home FROM her tour
around the Worldwide n she finds
time to sit down and scan the oews
papers collected in different parts Of
the world to see how she impressed
the different peoples of the globe,
America will probably not occupy so
exalted position 10 her mind as
formerly, and she will wonder as
many have wondered before, how
